Field Trip 6 // Saturday October 26th

Artistic, Human Impact and Geologic Investigation of Hurricane Harvey’s Deposits Near Downtown Houston
This half-day field trip will show GeoGulf attendees large-scale sedimentary structures formed in August 2017 when massive flooding in Buffalo Bayou submerged the area. Cutbanks, scours, and sediments deposited as the waters pushed downstream will be examined by climbing down the banks of Buffalo Bayou. The GeoArt collaborative has been able to preserve the sedimentary structures by making sand peels of Hurricane Harvey deposits. View the Field Guide or register for the Field Trip.
